TrustedReviews NewslettersA range of test shots are shown over the next two pages. Here, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop (taken from the original full resolution image at Adobe ImageReady jpg quality 60) follows each image in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality. The next page consists of resized images (to Adobe ImageReady jpg quality 50) so that you can evaluate the overall exposure. For those with a dial-up connection, please be patient while the page downloads.
Even under ideal conditions, the shot looks over-processed, with very little fine detail, over-sharpened edges and a bizarre, almost painted look in areas of bright colour.
Even on a nice bright day the M22 performs poorly, providing very little fine detail even for a 4MP camera.
- At the minimum setting of 100 ISO image quality is as good as it’s going to get. Not much detail, but at least there’s hardly any noise.
- At 200 ISO noise is clearly visible in the darker areas of the image, and the shot also lacks contrast as well as detail.
- At 400 ISO the shot at least has more contrast, but only because the darker areas are now totally black with no detail. The rest of the image has heavy noise.
